My house plant addiction is growing very fast. I love them so much, I gathered a few (yes, there are more) for a group picture. Also, our last rose bloomed out back for the fall.
Maybe I'm weird but I think it looks beautiful in my thrifted science flask.

I've had this indigo kit for over a year now. Finally decided to go for it yesterday and can honestly say, it was the most fun I have had with dye - ever! Stephen had just mowed the yard and the smell of fresh cut grass + the beginning of fall temps... I couldn't have asked for a better day.

In addition to indigo, I am planning on several more natural dye experiments. Next - with berries from our yard! This book has been very helpful in my research so far. I think natural colored shredded scarves will be gorgeous...

It's interesting how I will take the time to stage glass pieces for an instagram shot, yet not go ahead and just use my SLR for better quality... All of these are taken as I unload the kiln, and while I've made these pieces time and time again - there's always something about those first few minutes when the glass has cooled and you can hold the outcome.
Instant satisfaction!

The LAAFF fest yesterday was a great way to end the summer. I'm so happy to have the company of local makers. Asheville really is the place to be! So supportive.

Throughout September I will be focusing on new colors and glass techniques. Maybe a little collection in October? The glass tube necklaces above are recent favorites. Will list in the shop later this week...
